Desde su introducción en 2022, el Apex ha sido aclamado como el mejor amplificador de potencia jamás creado. Críticos y conocedores han elogiado universalmente su combinación de potencia impactante y delicadeza sublime; su capacidad para impulsar cualquier altavoz con una neutralidad tonal impecable. Siempre ha sido la misión de Gryphon alcanzar el máximo rendimiento de audio posible en términos de musicalidad pura, transparencia y realismo. Con el Apex Mono y el Apex Stereo, Gryphon Audio Designs ha elevado la amplificación de potencia pura Clase A un salto titánico por encima de lo que se consideraba posible anteriormente. Gryphon Apex nos lleva varios pasos significativos más cerca en la búsqueda de la ilusión musical más natural y convincente.
Años de experiencia desarrollando el Antileon EVO y el Mephisto, así como una investigación continua en los campos de la topología de circuitos, la calidad de los componentes y la fiabilidad han culminado en el Apex: el nuevo amplificador insignia de Gryphon Audio Designs.
